In the last game of the series, which took place at the Sydney Cricket Ground, he played an inning that won the match by scoring 104 runs, which contributed to India’s victory in the series.As a substitute for Yuvraj Singh, he was chosen to represent India in the World Twenty20 tournament in 2016. In June of 2017, he was part of the 15-man team that was selected to compete in the Champions Trophy. However, he sustained an injury while playing in the Indian Premier League, and as a result, he was unable to participate in the International Cricket Council tournament for India. In June of 2021, he was considered for inclusion in India’s One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 International (T20I) squads for the series that they were playing against Sri Lanka.
The Indian cricketer Manish Pandey has said that he has not given up on his dreams of making a return for his country. Following his return to the franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, the veteran intends to play for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which is a team that competes in the league. The Knights ultimately decided to purchase Pandey at his basic price of INR 50 lakhs at the auction that took place in December of 2023.
When India was on tour in Zimbabwe in 2015, Pandey made his first appearance for the national team. On the other hand, he has never been able to establish himself as a member of the national team. At the time of the tour to Sri Lanka in 2021, the batter, who is now 34 years old, had not worn the national shirt since then. Pandey believed that if he had a successful season with the bat for KKR, it would be possible for him to regain his position on the Indian squad by playing again.
For the Kolkata Knight Riders in the year 2024, the hype is all about homecoming. While they are excited to have Gautam Gambhir, their captain who has won two titles, back with them in the capacity of a mentor, they are also excited to have Manish Pandey back with them. Before Sunrisers Hyderabad snatched him away for a staggering INR 11 Crore in the super auction, the middle-order batsman had played for KKR for four seasons between 2014 and 2017. During that time, he was a member of the cricket team.
